Introduction:

Every Simple Machine has a numerical mechanical advantage. Even though the machines work in different ways, they can all make your work easier. Sometimes, one machine can give you more mechanical advantage than another. This activity will give you a chance to calculate MA for different machines and then compare them.

Activity:

1. Grab the document A5_Pyramids from my Teachers folder and drag it to your documents.
